Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 40 I can explain why Luo Qixi is in my bed.

The next day, Rudy came to find Allen as soon as he stepped out of his bedroom, because they had agreed to get up early the day before to review the previous day's battle in the yard and summarize and improve their performance.

He rubbed his face and walked sleepily down the corridor, but for some reason, it sounded more lively downstairs than usual. It was the sound of Senis and Lilia preparing to cook, and the two seemed to be chatting happily about something.

Rudy didn't notice; he walked to Allen's door and pushed it open.

The door opened smoothly—Alan didn't usually lock the door.

The curtains in the room were not drawn open early in the morning as usual, but were tightly closed around the windows, making the room dark.

Rudy looked down at the bed and saw that Allen's thin blanket, which he usually used, was wrapped up in a ball and was still rising and falling slightly.

"Is Allen unusually sleeping in? Did yesterday's battle drain all his energy?"

"He was the one who suggested getting up early, but he's the one who's staying in bed. Hehe."

Thinking of this, Rudy tiptoed to the bedside, grabbed a corner of the blanket, and suddenly pulled it off!

"Get up! Naked man!"

He rolled up the blanket and sent it flying through the air. Just then, a gust of wind blew outside the window, causing the curtains to flutter slightly.

The light shone on Luo Qixi's hazy sleeping face on the bed.

Rudy stared at Loki's face with hazy eyes, remaining silent for a long while.

Then he slapped himself across the face.

"Am I still half asleep? How could I mistake Allen for Luo Qixi? Hehehe, how strange."

"But why is Allen wearing Loki's clothes?"

He rubbed his face vigorously and looked at the bed again.

Loki, no, Allen seemed to have been disturbed by the slap; his beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was about to open them.

Footsteps sounded at the door, and someone pushed the door open and came in.

"Loki, it's really time to get up, Rudy's coming over soon if we don't."

Rudy watched as Allen entered through the door, then slowly turned to look at the dazed Loki, before turning back to Allen, whose face was contorted with horror.

The air seemed to freeze.

Allen stared at Rudy, completely stunned, and blinked rapidly.

"Rudy, calm down, I can explain."

Rudy stared at Allen expressionlessly, radiating the same murderous aura that only appeared when the child called the dragon boss "Dad" in the original story. He forced a cold smile and spoke.

"Please speak, I'm listening."

"Oh, it's Rudy. Where's Allen?"

But then Luo Qixi opened her eyes. She sat up, her face still blurry, and turned to look at Allen at the door.

"Ah, Allen, you're here. Good morning. Thank you so much for last night. If you hadn't woken me up this morning, I wouldn't even know when I got into bed. But I do remember we were at the table. Anyway, it's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably... You were a real help. I even had you heat up my bath water this morning."

"Mama Blue, do you want to listen to what you're saying?!"

A huge "danger" character appeared on Allen's forehead.

"Help me! Help me!"

The next moment, Rudy's angry roar echoed throughout the Grellatt house.

"Allen!!!"

"Let me explain!! First of all, she was wearing clothes!! Wait! Wait a minute!"

"Water Polo!"

"Flowing Secret Technique! Eh?! Wait! The bed's wet! Loki is still on the bed!!"

"Water?"

The two stiffened their necks and looked at Luo Qixi, who was drenched from head to toe by the water ball that had been redirected by the Flowing Secret Technique. The latter was holding her head and blinking, still in a state of confusion as if she had just woken up and hadn't yet realized what had happened.

Just then, Senis Lilia, who had been notified by Allen to return to Loki that morning, ran to the door.

The former saw Luo Qixi, who was soaked to the bone, and then looked at the two 'children' with very interesting expressions. He squinted and clenched his fists, and gently squeezed out the words through his teeth.

"Alan, Rudy, you two seem to get along really well, that's reassuring."

-

At breakfast, Allen and Rudy, both sporting panda eyes, sat obediently at the table.

Senis was still furious and kept muttering to herself.

"Before Allen came, I always thought Rudy was a very easy child to manage, a well-behaved kid. Turns out, it's just because he lacked peers to play with, haha. And you, Allen, you're four years older than Rudy, how come you act like a little kid?"

"I'm sorry!" they said in unison.

The two, who were actually the same age, exchanged a silent glance and looked at Luo Qixi across the table. Luo Qixi had gone from wanting to take a shower to having no choice but to do so. She had changed into a set of loungewear from her suitcase and was drinking tea with her eyes closed and her mouth open, but the smile that appeared at the corner of her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

Paul, standing to the side, chuckled and said...

"Since Loki is just passing by, let her stay a few more days. Today, let's clear out the storage room next door for... uh, for Allen to stay in."

Loki glanced at Allen. This was the statement she had been forced to rehearse with Allen that morning. On one hand, she didn't want Paul's family to worry too much. On the other hand, Rudy didn't know Allen's true identity yet. After all, in Loki's mind, Rudy was still young and it was better for him not to know about these family feuds.

Allen was simply worried that if Rudy knew he was Alice's brother, he might accidentally let it slip when he went to Roya City during his teenage years.

Exposing one's identity and attracting James's attention isn't a big deal, but the butterfly effect that might follow would cause a major mess.

"But the fact that my money was stolen means I have to walk all the way here, and it's already late at night. Hmm, that's pretty much like Luo Qixi's style."

Loki choked with a "poof," and Senis naturally reached out to pat her back to help her catch her breath.

The former patted his chest and glared at Allen with half-closed eyes.

This ridiculous excuse was also something Allen came up with, and she even said it fit her persona.

"What? Am I really that reckless?"

"Oh dear, being clumsy is one of the reasons why Loki is so lovable~"

"Oh, that's true."

Luo Qixi:

Allen:

Rudy watched Allen and Loki exchanging glances and a sorrowful expression appeared on his face.

"How come Allen is so popular with the opposite sex? I'm so jealous. My God. I have to get revenge on Allen... wait a minute!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at Allen.

"He's got leverage over the shrine matter; what a despicable man! That treacherous fellow!"

Allen felt Rudy's intense gaze, but he couldn't say anything more and could only helplessly rub his forehead.

But as he put food in his mouth, he felt like he had forgotten something.

But I couldn't remember it for the time being.

Allen shook his head and continued eating.

"Never mind, I'll remember when the time comes."

Thank you to the deity on the left for the 3000-point reward.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, I was drenched in sweat and filled with trepidation.
